RE: How's The Weather Where You Are?

Very icy today--some folks say it is going to snow, which is unusual for this area...

RE: How's The Weather Where You Are?

misty and icy cold today.....no "real" rain, just pesky .....

RE: strong desire to know

Wild guess here--as intimate and personal as cleaning oneself is (and I hesitate to discuss it in detail..) I believe it is SO important to many people that when there is a crisis, they inwardly panic and though it may seem disconnected, buying up "plenty" of tissue becomes important. Same with bottled water, womens' personal products, toothbrushes/paste--all along the same line. Of course I have no degree in all this psycho-need, I believe I could be correct.

RE: strong desire to know

.....never happened to me........

the minute I get to Green Bay.......

RE: strong desire to know

I wrote on this topic awhile back--the mania to buy up toilet tissue is not new. During WWII/The Depression, when the millennium turned, Katrina, etc....the rush to buy up tissue was great, as well. It seems to be "a thang"---your answer is as good as any. (I actually 'get' it---if you have ever run out, and need some NOW..........just sayin') trust me.....

RE: Fries without a

GET SOME REST.

RE: Fries without a

The restaurant we met in has super fry sauce! Come on back over to the coast--I'll catch you a beer or a wine.......

RE: Fries without a

you got it all wrong darls! I don't care what kind of food you do or don't like!! It just seems you knew you didn't like Poutine in the first place, so why not let it go at that? Your kind of reasoning is confusing---(and scads of others say so....)

RE: More About My Match...Is It Realistic?

I believe it is perfectly fine to be choosy. It's your life---do it the way YOU want. (Yes, there aren't any perfect people, but there are people who are absolutely wonderful....worth going for.)

RE: Fries without a

yesyesyesyesyesyesyes!!!!!!!!

RE: Fries without a

Hey, slow your roll--to each his own. Poutine is Canadian. (why didn't you just say you didn't like that sort of food in the first place? ) helpful hint--get some good rest. You sound cranky. just sayin'

RE: happy mood

The beach, my pub, my cat, my house.

RE: Fries without a

could you use some imagination and buy some white cheddar or Muenster or whatever you like and cut into small cubes/pieces and substitute? Not quite the same, but it could give you a good idea of Poutine. (Most folks can tweak something, and be creative....) Best!

RE: Fries without a

Here's what you do---buy whatever the best "ready-to-use" gravy (usually in a jar) that is available in Ireland. Go to a deli and buy a pound or so of cheese curds-white with spices, pepper, etc..is preferred. Either make fries - wash two large potatoes and cut in half, then quarter, then eighths--drop in boiling water for a minute, drain completely then also pat dry. Have a pan of hot oil going, and drop the wedges in the oil, lightly browning, then stop heat but leave in pan for a few minutes. Lightly salt, turn onto serving tray, toss in lightly the curds, and pour hot gravy over. LET REST for 5 minutes. You will LOVE it. A just right lunch, too. Have with a cold beer.

RE: Complaint to CS administration

I wrote a very nice, diplomatic letter to mods concerning this very thing. (no reply). Several of my 'besties' on here have written to me, we discuss this, and it seems to be a concern for many. For some reason, the admin. doesn't feel, or seem to feel, that it is necessary to explain. It is a free site--I say, go ahead and print what you want, it will either be deleted or it won't, and there doesn't appear to be rhyme or reason to it, so it's going to be a crap shoot anyway. Do what you feel is righteous for you--whether they like it, delete it, etc...is not something you can change or get an answer to. Sorry....

RE: More About My Match...Is It Realistic?

Hope springs eternal----best of luck on that, friend.....

RE: Fries without a

Poutine is my very favorite....

RE: scale of life

not a matter of "should"--I just didn't understand your reference of believing I didn't like you--I have no memory of any negative interaction, so I was just asking you to explain. Not that big of a deal--just wanted to know.

RE: scale of life

I don't recall having anything negative toward you-- or from you---(message me--you're not blocked. Thanx)

RE: How's The Weather Where You Are?

Gorgeous today. The southern Oregon coast is the BEST!

RE: scale of life

I really don't tell this part of my "story" very often, but here goes: I wasn't in the 'in-crowd' in school, but I had made friends with a guy from about the time we were 11 or so. Our moms were good friends, business women in Portland, Oregon. He died before we reached 30. This guy had traveled down to California several times when I was going to college there, we went camping, hiking, and played acoustic music on the streets of San Francisco and Portland together--it was the biggest, most incredible loss and I will never fully recover. Life sometimes gives us only one really true-blue friend, and he was the one. Thanks for this post--it's important.

"All My Life's A Circle"-----Harry Chapin

Let's talk about this....

Not as much as there used to be. Before I went to college, I worked for a giant electronics firm. That was in the 1970's. Everywhere throughout that company unit managers and mid-managers could be seen kicked back, feet up, chatting away the afternoon on the phone, taking 3 hour lunches, etc...We used the term "deadwood". I believe those days are mostly over. Companies got tired of paying people good salaries to basically do nothing.
